The Salmon/Steelhead Bobber Fishing Rule (page 18 of the regulation booklet) goes into effect May 1 on part of the Trask River. Angling is restricted to fly fishing or bobber fishing from the marker at Loren's Drift (River Mile 9) up to Cedar Creek boat slide (River Mile 10.9).
The Trask River is getting started for spring Chinook and a few fish are being caught but overall fishing remains slow. There are some fish moving into the river and with higher flows this past week that should continue at least for this week. The Trask does not have a release of hatchery summer steelhead but is known to get the occasional stray. Trout fishing will open on the Trask on May 22.
